Tlie Departure of Messrs. Mason and Sll* dell—their arrival In Havana—llow they reached Cuba, etc. For some time past the papers of the inte rioc have been indulging in sly hints, as to the whereabouts of Messrs. Masou and Slidell.— We have hitherto made allusion to their move ments ; but, the causes which induced our re ticence being removed, we may now, without indiscretion, narrate the facts of their embar kation. The Commissioners having resolved to make the venture of running the blockade of Char leston, after mature deliberation, selected for the experiment (the staunch and swift little steamer Theodora, which was, therefore got ready for sea with all despatch. The prepara tions having been completed, they embarked a little before midnight, on Friday, October 11th. The party of passengers who wvere starting on this very unusual and somewhat hazardous trip, consisted of the following persons : Hon. J. M. Mason, of Virginia, Mr. Mac farland, (Secretary to Mr. Mason,) Hon. John Slidell, of Louisiana, Mrs. Slidell, Miss Ma thilde Slidell, Miss Rosine Slidell, Mr. Eustis, (Secretary to Mr- Slidell,) Mrs. Eustis, who is a daughter of Mr. Corcoran, the Washington banker, now in Fort Lafayette, Col. Lo Mat, of Louisiana, the inventor of the grape shot revolver, and two or three other gentlemen, i whom it will be best, for the present, not to name. night was pitoh dark, and mid night a light rain began falling, which render ed the chances of being detected by the block aders exceedingly slim. At one o’clock on Saturday morning, the hasty good-byes, and God-speed-you’s having been said, the cables of the Theodora were loosened, and she glided the harbor on her im portant mission. As the steamer passed Fort Sumter, every light on board was extinguish ed, and away she went, right through the lin gers of the blocUaders, far out at sea. On the evening of the 11th she reached Nas sau in safety, where, had the opportunity been a favorable one, the Commissioners would have disembarked ; but, on enquiring, they ascertained that the English steamer connect ing with that point touched at New York.— However gratifying a sight of New York might have been under other circumstances, the Commissioners determined in this instance to forego the pleasure. The Iheodora let! Nassau and steamed away towards Cuba. On the 10th inst., she arriv ed at Cardenas, where the Commissioners land ed. The news that a Southern steamer had arrived with Messrs. Mason and Slidell on board, which was telegraphed from Cardenas to Havana, was scarcely credited at the latter place. But when, on the 17th inst., the The odora came up the harbor of Havana, display ing the Confederate flag, the quays were im mediately thronged with thousands of won dering spectators, and a most cordial and en thusiastic reception was given to the adventur ous little craft. The Yankees iu Havana were, as a matter of course, much disgruntled at the welcome given to the Theodora. But, on the other hand, the ladies of Havana prepared a splended Confederate flag for the steamer* which was presented to the Captain, with ap propriate ceremonies. Xho ladies of Matan zas, also, took advantage of the chance to send hither a splended flag for the Hamton Legion. The steamship Columbia, formerly a Char leston vessel, but now in the armed service of however, she was not ready to put to sea. Her consort, the Keystone State, had gone to New York with a Southern steamer, loaded with a valuable frieght of arms and munitions, and which, unfortunately, had been captured, while endeavoring to make the run to Tampa, Fla. So the Theodora left the friendly port of Ha vana unmolested, and with a freight of coffee, sugar, saltpetre, sulphur, acids, lead, iron, shot, block tin, ran quietly in—, we won’t say where—bringing a number of Charlestonians, who had reached Havana from Southampton, about the same time the Theodora made her appearance. It is ascertained that the Yankees keep a fast yacht constantly plying between Key West and Havana, simply for the purpose of gaining in telligence of our naval movements. The Theodora is a private vessel, and is un armed.—Charleston Mercurg, Oct. 31. From til© Richmond Examiner, Oct. 28. Official Report or the Capture of the Fanny and of the Yankee races at Chlckama eoinack. The War Department has received the offi cial report of the capture of the Lincoln steam er Fanny, and the flight and pursuit of the 20th Indiana Regiment from Chicaraacomack. In communicating the report, Gen. Huger, in command of the department of Norfolk, says: “ Col. Wright modestly avoids mentioning that he was one of three men who advanced on the enemy, and his horse was shot under him; but he released himself and captured the man firing on him, the Sergeant Major of of the Indiana Regiment. The accounts given in the' official report the I'ankee races adds many incidents to the statements of the rout and pursuit of the ene my heretofore published, and constitute, in part, one of the most grapfiic chapters of the war. • The event is described as one of the most ex traordinary manifestations of “fame.” When our forces had approached within one mile of the shore, the Yankees were in full run to wards Fort Hatteras. In opening our fire up on the retreating foe, they broke into the ut most confusion, dodging behind trees, houses, and sand banks, at ihe flash of our guns. The pursuit was kept up for the entire day, the whole of the 3d Georgia Volunteers, 600 strong, and 50 of the 7th North Carolina Vol unteers, pushing after the foe and occasionally overtaking his rear. About twilight three of our skirmishers overtook about ons hundred of the Y'ankee fugitives, as they were entering a wood. A sharp struggle ensued, the enemy being pro tected by the dense woods, and our men being upon the beach exposed to their fire. The three stood gallantly against the 100 of the enemy until they succeeded in killing several and capturing two prisoners, when they were com pelled to desist from their pursuit, being “for ced to halt to secure their game.” Col. Wright states: “ The enemy’s loss, as far as we could ascertain, was seven killed, a number wounded, and thirty-two taken pris oners. We captured a number ot gnns, sever al hundred blankets and knapsacks, between three and four hundred India rubber blankets, and all the personal clothing of the entire com The Greori mand. In this fight they threw away guns, cartridge boxes, belts, shoes, coats, and even their caps. These we found scattered from Chickamaeomack to the Lighthouse, a distance of twenty-five miles. Large quantities of ball cartridge were found buried in the sand on the route. A great many boxes were broken open and thrown in the water; others were scatter ed along the sand. Guns, pistols, swords, belis and sashe9, were found along the entire route. Indeed, my men returned loaded with these very acceptable spoils.” “ If Col. Shaw could have effected a landing at or near Cape Channel, we would have cap tured the enemy’s whole force. The Colonel and his men were much chagrined at not be ing able to accomplish their part of the work, and made many efforts to effect a landing, wa ding in the water for a mile or more up to their arm pits, when they found a deep channel and were forced to return.” “If Commodore Lynch had been provided with sufficient luel to keep his boats along shore, I should have remained at Chickamaco mack and tried to dislodge the enemy from Hatteras Light before I returned. But all the fuel he had (being the wood cut by my men on Roanoke Island) having been exhausted, we were forced to return. He has been greatly crippled in his operations here for want of force, and but for this, l undertake to say, you would have long before this heard good ac counts from his little navy. Mle and his com mand here rendered me valmMle assistance But for him, I should not have been able to ac complish anything.” All the official papers of tlie Indiana Regi ment were captured. Their regimental morn ing report showed they were 1,138 strong, ex clusive of 100 of the New York Fire Brigade, attached to the regiment as artillerists. For the Crusader Our Flags.

S!ew Orleans, 186[. For the Crusader. Some objections to the Confederate Primer and Spellers considered. Mr. Editor:— Some one has said that the next best thing for a book, after being much praised is that it be badly abused.” In your issue of the 16th ult., under the caption of “ The Confederate Primers and Spellers,” we notice an article denouncing the principle, and classification of these books. The writer, who is the author of several spell ing and reading books in our possession, states that in “ a total absence of all allusion to mis pronunciation, and misaccentation, then strike me tlia mare fnrnihly h.v th«!r enntmot with «. work which was recently submitted for exam ination to a committee appointed by the Edu cational Institute, of which I had tho honor to be one. This we regard as a very natural conclusion. That these books aro faultless, is claimed by no one ; and that errors pointed out by the writer, but to which attention has before been drawn, do exist is equally true. In the outset the writer asserts that the child “ cannot learn even to spell until he has mastered a knowledge of the forty-one positions of the organs of speech.” This is unfair and altogether absurd, for there is nothing from the author, or the arrangement of tho words, ns lessons in the Primer that would indicate such a necessity. If the teacher “should shrink from such an achievement as drilling the little” tyres, in the elements of his language, an exercise both sim ple, and natural, and prefer using the work as Webster’s spelling book is used, he can do so. Os the many objections urged, one is that any and many are found in the same table with rainy. This oocursbeoauso the group of words is a classification of dissylables ending in y like f short, no reference at the time being made to the a in the two former words, or the diphthong ai in the latter. On page 23, Second Speller, w e think the words any and many are classed as all such an tiphonetic words should be. That myrmidon y like short u, should not be found in the same collection of such words as myriad, mystery, etc., an excellent principle of orthoepy teach ers ; and that x has more than “ two sounds,” like ks as in expect, gz as in exact, and z as in xenophan, xerxes, etc., is corroborated by equally as wholesome a principle. But that e in hasten, glisten and such words should be marked silent, we think altogether questiona ble, since many of our highest authorities maintain that the ultimate vowel of this class of words, although very much obscured, has a sound. To the hypercritical exposition, of the class ic orthoepy of the writer, we call attention to few words only, as our time will not admit of a farther notice of such little stuff.” We are informed that in the word lurkois the diphthong “ ot should be ee,” and not have the English or common sound, as heard in toil, and as given in the Confederate Speller, although Webster and Worcester support this criticised pronunciation. Again, we are told that orgies should be pro nounced “ orgis ,” yet the same distinguished lexicographers above recited teach us to pro nounce the word as though it were spelled or giz ; giving * the sound of z, and not its his sing, dental or siliband sound as the ortho graphy “ orgis," would suggest. And if our lexicons are reliable, the diph thong ie in the ultimate syllabie of the word species should be pronounced rather obscurely approximating the sound of e as heard in the word college (Worcester,) and not like ee as in " shecz." If this be true the arrangement of species in the same class with orgies, is after all not such bad classification. Fault is found with the order in which such words occur, as infinite, sacrifice, disfranchise, edifice, leonine , epilamize, etc., because i in the terminal syllable of these words is short in some, and long in others, as though the author designed that their final syllables should be ■* 'IU ■, lessons of the book. As it respect- such words rrndrrraus, dehoita , 5“ ' etc., which are anglocized in whole by some sccholars, while others * as foreign, and pronounce them as such, aol being words that are rarely ever used by eith er teacher or pupil, and such will not admit of classification, we will pass them by without further notice. Doubtless such changes in the succeeding editions of these books will be made, as may be suggested by the experience of the numer ous teachers who are now using them. JUSTICE. Nashville, Oct. 12, 1860. Seward on Russell. The Black Republicans want to stop the Lon don Times, but they can’t get at it. To cer tain parties who requested that Mr. Russell, its special correspondent, should be stopped or sent out of the United States, Mr. Seward wrote a letter, of which this is the conclusion: The Government of the United States de pends not upon the favor or good-will of for eign writers or papers, or even of foreign na tions ; but upon the just support of the Amer ican people. Its cretjit and it,s fame seem to me now, more than ever heretofore, safe in their keeping. If it be assumed that the obnoxious paper may do harm here, is it not a sufficient reply that probably not fifty copies of the London Times ever find their way to our shores. And if it be said again that the obnoxious commun ication has been widely published in the Uni ted States, it seems to me a sufficient rejoinder that the censure of a magnanimous vote in that ease ought to fall on those of its own cit izens who reproduce the libel, rather than on the foreigner who wroto it exclusively for re mote publication. Finally, interference with the press, even in the case of an existing insurrection, can be justified only on the ground of public danger. I do not see any such danger in the present case. Even if one foreigner does pervert our hospitality to shelter himself in writing inju rious publications against us for a foreign press, a hundred foreigners, as inteili-’ gent, as virtuous, as respectable as he is, are daily enrolling themselves in the army of the United States, to defend and maintain the Un ion as the chief hope of liberty in all countries and for ail ages. Could there be a better illus tration of that great fundamental truth of our system, “ that error of opinion may safely be tolerated when reason is left free to combat it ?” WILLIAM H. SEWARD. How Bombshells arc fllntlr. Tho manufacture of bombshells is very in teresting. The shell is first filled with old fashioned round leaden bullets, melted sul phur is then poured in to fill up the interstices and bind the bullets in one mass ; the shell is then put into a kind of lathe, and a cylindri cal hole of the exact size of orifice of the shell is bored through the bullets and sul phur. Tho cavity is filled with even with the interior edge of the orifice, a six-inch shell of the kind here descrj(i)ed holding about half a pound. The fuse fittW into the orifice is a recent Belgian invention, made of pewter, and resembles the screw-cap used for the patent fruit cans. An examination of thi9 pewter cap shows, however, that it is mado of two hollow dises of metal screwed together and filled with meal powder. A number of fine holes are drilled in the lower dise, while the outer dise is entire and marked figures in the circle, 1,1, 3, 4. In this state the shell is water-proof. When ta ken for use the gunner, by means of a small steel instrument, scoops out a portion of the outer soft metal surface, and lays bare the charge of composition powder below it. If the shell is desired to explode in one second after leaving the gun, the scooping is made on the figure one; if in two seconds, on the fig ure two, and so on ; the idetfejjeing that the object aimed at and do execution as a ball, and then explode, sending the bullets forward as if from another eannon, located at tho point where the flight of the shell is arrested. Large shells of eight or ten inches are filled with powder only, and bursting, do execution by means of their fragments. These large shells are generally fired by means of a fuse of meal powder, extending through a brass plug screwed into the mouth of the shell. In both cases the fuse is fired by tho ignition of the charge of the gun. Hints to Husbands. Here is something which should be cut out, preserved, and carefully read at least once a week. Never wish for the dishes your mother prepared for you when a boy. There is noth ing of which a wife is more jealous than a mother in-law’s oookery ; besides there is scarcely a doubt that the very dishes so much longed for, would fail to please you now.— When a boy, everything was relished with a boyish zeal; but now, even your mother, no ted for her cookery of the old-fashioned dish es, if you have been accustomed to the more modern styles, would be found faulty. But suppose she wae, and is now a perfect house keeper in all respects, is it kind or gentleman ly to put your mother, with her years of ex perience in competition with your young and inexperienced wife? You must bear and for bear, as very likely your father did before you, or you will never have a house keeper in your wife. Do you not remember, if you have been married a few years, many times to have found your dinner spoiled, wife out of tune and yourself seriously annoyed, when you could without injury to business, or even trespass ing on the laws of courtesy, have been punc tual to the moment ? And again when for important reasons you desire the dinner prompt, you have found it far from ready, have you not found fault, and been reproach ed with such want of regularity yourself as to make it impossible to keep up a proper sys tem in the family ? If not you are a pattern husband, whose example it would be well for many to copy.— If your wife has no servants, or not a suffi cient number to do the work of the family, her time is as precious as yours, and the mo ments wasted waiting for you, must be made up by extra exertion throughout the day, or taken from the hours necessary for repose at night. You little think of this, or your prac tice would be different. -■ ■ 1 'S p'M'r iv t* 4 ’ ii'ii."!

We shall have several superior engra vers employed exclusively on the pa per, and shall also carry on Litlio grafSlic printing in connection with the engraving. We have had a most superior artist operating in Virginia for several months, sketching all the battle grounds and all the scenery of any interest, to be used as illustrations in our paper. All who know anything about us, are aware of the fact that we never half do anything, and that being the case, the public may expect a Literary Journal worthy, in every respect, of the nineteenth century, and altogether deserving of unlimited patronage. We are embarking thus largely in the newspaper line upon tlie presump tion that the Southern patronage which lias heretofore been extended to North ern periodicals, has forever ceased, and will now be given to Southern publica tions. Should we he deceived in this supposition, it will be sifter making’ such an effort that no one else will ever attempt the experiment again. Before the end of the present year we trust the war will have closed, and the minds of the people be relieved from the horrid suspense and dread which now pervades every Southern breast, and then all will be ready and eager to give some attention to the lit erary wants of the country. THe Marcli of Death. Even the bloody Druses of Lebanon usually spared the women and female children. The war that rushed like a tornado through Italy last year,prostrating tens of thousands in its teiflblfl siWtp, ffesfrbyeff but a smaTTpart’ibi' the people. And the war that is now surging through Ihe length of that fair land is over whelming but one man among thousands of its inhabitants. But even here, in our quiet vil lages, in our dear homes, there is another kind of war, altogether more deadly. There is a cordon drawn around every household. There is a deadly array set before every man. There is a fatal aim leveled at every human heart.— With every step of your foot, with every heat of the “muffled drum” within your breast, you are approaching that point where you will receive not a discharge from war, but a fatal charge from an enemy who will pierce you through and through. The young, the old, the rich, the poor, the sick, the well, the sober, the reckless, the gay, the gloomy, all are has tening in one never-halting procession, with the tramp of manhood’s heavy tread, and the patter of childhood’s lightest footstep, to the very point death’s fatal ambush, and against his myriad forms of doom. There is no dis charge in this war. The victims fall thick and fast as the leaves of the forest when the cloud, full of thunder, Bpreads over the earth like night, and the hail mangles and ruins the beauty of every tree. You cannot escape.— Strength will not save you. Beauty will not save you. Youth will not savo you. Wisdom will not save you. The hoary head of honour will not save you. A sister’s love or a more pas. sionato affection that swell’s another's heart, will not save you. All the affection of the most glowing human soul will not save you. Nothing of the kind, nothing at all, can give you a discharge in Ibis war. Revolutions of the Wind. It has been ascertained, from many years observation, that tho wind makes a number of revolutions all round the compass in tho course of a year, turning usually in the direction of the hands of a watch—that is, from E. to E. S. W., and round to N.; but last year the di' section was retrogade, or in the contrary di rection —N. W. S. E. and N. Two entire rev olutions were made in this direction, and, the phenomenon having attracted attention, the observations of past years were examined, ap pears to be a seven-yearly cycle in the course of the wind. In 1853 the wind made rather less than two rotations in the retrogade direc tion ; in all the other years the opposite di rection has prevailed. But, taking any period of seven years, we find it commencing with a small number of revolutions; then increasing to a maximum, twenty-one times, twenty-three times or twenty-four times round the compass ; then sinking to a minimum, and rising once more in tho following period. On this remar kable fact Mr. Airy observes, supposing al ways that the septennial cycle be confirmed : “ I should suggest, as possible cause, no cycle of actions of external bodies, but a periodical throb of temperance from tho interior of tho earth. It seems likely that a very small change of superficial temperance might suffi ciently influence the currents of air to produce the effect which has been observed.”—Cham bers' Journal.
